Wife Corinna has now put a For Sale tag of $20 million on his grey Falcon 2000EX private jet, capable of carrying eight passengers and flying at 600 miles per hour, with the seven times world champion's initials on it's tailplane.

According to reports in Germany the reasons for the sale "are obvious."

They added: "During his active time as a formula one driver, Schumi jetted between 300 and 400 hours annually with the aircraft around the world."

Even in his three years break from racing he used the jet for many family vacations with Corinna as well as shuttling his Mick, 15, and Gina Maria, 17, to school in Switzerland.

"But now everything is different. The world of the Schumachers has changed," said a source.

Schumacher is said to be making good progress in the Lausanne clinic following his re-emergence from a medically induced coma last month.

Corinna also intends to care for him in a specially built facility on the grounds of their mansion at Gland, 30 minutes drive from the clinic.
